Follow live coverage as Chelsea face Leicester City in the Premier League today.

Trevoh Chalobah made his first start of the season as Chelsea hosted Leicester in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.

Connor Gallagher kept his place in midfield, with N’Golo Kante still sidelined with hamstring trouble.

Dennis Praet, Boubakary Soumare and Youri Tielemans all started for Leicester, who were missing Wesley Fofana ahead of the defender’s expected transfer to the Blues.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Chelsea vs Leicester City

OVER!!!! Leicester pack the box and Tielemans has a shot blocked from the edge of the area. It bounces towards the corner flag, but Tielemans whips it back into the box, where Castagne heads over the bar from close range!

OFF THE POST!!!! Havertz races through the middle on the break for Chelsea, before releasing Cucurella down the left. His ball across the box is deflected into Sterling's path, but his shot beats Ward before striking the far post!
